Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
짚빛이 잔 속에 또렷이 어린다. 1980년대에 병입된 발베니 파운더스 리저브답게 향에서는 처음엔 옅은 연기와 고무, 그을린 케이크, 빵가루, 캐러멜이 깔리다 히스 꽃과 풍성한 꿀의 결이 떠오른다. 입에서는 43도의 도수 위로 꿀과 살구, 마르멜로 잼의 단맛이 깔리고 허브티와 크리스마스 케이크, 옅은 리코리스가 더해진다. 프로방스의 마른 허브를 닮은 풍미가 좋은 균형을 이루며, 꿀과 향신료의 여운이 미디엄 길이로 이어진다.
AITasting Notes
Colour
straw
air Nose
quite smoky and rubbery at first nosing, with some burnt cake, breadcrumb, caramel… Some nice flowery notes (heather) and quite a lot of honeyed notes. Gets a little grassy after a moment, while some nice hints of fresh fruits (apple, gooseberry, peach) appear. Nicely balanced and most enjoyable
restaurant Palate
very nice attack on honey and fruit jam (apricot, quince). Herbal tea, Christmas cake… Some liquorice too. It’s got quite some oomph and I like the notes of dried herbs from Provence (thyme, rosemary). The finish is medium long but nicely honeyed and spicy. A very good oldie! 84 points . Balvenie 10 yo Founder’s Reserve (43%, OB, 1980's) This one is just the variant at 43%, and was a French import
